Koh Young America Honors Its Top Performing Sales Partners at IPC APEX EXPO
February 12, 2020 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Building on yet another successful year, Koh Young America recognized four of its top performing sales partners during the IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego, California. Combining an award-winning portfolio of True 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI), Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI), and KSMART factory connectivity software with the industry’s finest group of sales representatives helped Koh Young realize outstanding results in 2019. Koh Young America specifically recognized several of its sales partners for remarkable contributions in 2019:
- Jim Rittman, Aligned Solutions
- David Dogget, FHP
- Mario Pouza, Fuji do Brazil
- Ray Neal, Process Automation & Tool
“Customers are the lifeblood of a company. Not only did Koh Young further expand its relationships with existing users, but we added about two new customers every week in 2019. Thanks in part to the efforts by Jim, Dave, Mario, and Ray, the Koh Young family grew by nearly 100 new customers in 2019,” said Joel Scutchfield, Americas Sales Director for Koh Young.
Besides new customers, our entire team helped us grow and expand into new territories and sectors. Given the tremendous success, it was difficult to select one partner with the ‘Top Performer’ award. “While the entire Koh Young America team is exceptional, these elite sales partners deserved special attention for reaching an elevated level.” Ramon Hernandez, Country Manager for Mexico and South America at Koh Young continued, “These “Rain Makers” cultivated new opportunities, penetrated new markets, and solidified existing relationships for us and deserve separate recognition.”
